I headed out a bit later than normal today, mostly because I was feeling less motivated than Friday, which is weird, because Friday it was pouring rain and today it was merely cloudy, which is good for a run!
Here is the run in handy list form:
The Good:
- Cloudy, which is better for running
- No rain, which is even better than cloudy
- Cloudy meant no sunblock needed, which is a nice bonus
- Cloudy also meant that, despite high humidity, I didn’t sweat as much
- Relatively quiet on the trail
- I actually passed another jogger–Hangdog!
- My pace was better than expected, despite another 2nd km sag
The Bad:
- My right shin was tender again to start, but felt better (again) after a short time
The Indifferent:
- The Baker’s cyst didn’t seem to affect my run and doesn’t feel any worse, post-run
Overall, I’m pleased with the outcome, especially since I really wasn’t feeling it this morning.
